My Approach
Each therapeutic relationship is unique. My role is to always show up as my authentic self, without judgment, so that I can attune to my client and hold a safe space for their journey as it unfolds.
With my adult clients, we walk through current circumstances while exploring the past and monitoring the responses and experience of their rich inner world. Sometimes, if interested, we will incorporate art projects to help deepen exploration. The goal is to create a cohesive and compassionate narrative of inner and outer world experiences to ease symptoms and behaviors of rigidity (anxiety, depression, etc.) and chaos.
In my practice, I often work with new parents and families in crisis. I work to help restore equilibrium and to help strengthen secure attachment. With new parents, sometimes the journey is making sense of and healing their own childhood wounds or sometimes the journey is the joining of an old identity with a new one. My goal is always to uplift and help my clients to expand into their fullest self.
​
In my work with children we often use art and play. I aim to create a trusting and reliable relationship where children feel safe to experience their emotions to their fullest breadth so that they may learn how to attend to those big emotions in productive and meaningful ways.
